Singapore-issued CoCs need Revalidation
Holders of Singapore-issued certificates of competency (CoCs) need to revalidate their CoCs to meet the requirements of the 2010 Manila amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW2010) and to be able to serve on board a ship. CoCs issued by Singapore in compliance with the 1995 amendments to the STCW are valid up to 31 December 2016. Holders of existing Singapore-issued CoCs are required to take up additional courses in order to comply with the competency requirements of the 2010 Manila amendments to the STCW, and are advised to refer to Shipping Circular No. 10 of 2014 for the details of additional training required.
